lyrics
So strong
So united
We love peace
Cos we know what life is
We didn’t choose it but
We will fight this
War and win it
Cos we know what the time is
So strong
So united
We love peace
Cos we know what life is
To the end
We will fight this
War and win it
Cos we know what the time is
Just a few weeks ago
We were so divided
So polarized into tribes
We were blinded
Tragically
Sometimes it takes a calamity
To shake us from faking to who we are naturally
Our malady was seeing through
Selective reality
It takes crazy pain
To remember our sanity
I need you
And you me
All of us
Everyone
When our people’s incomplete
That is when we come undone
I cried when I saw us beaten and broken
How could this happen?
My heart burst open
The hope of my nation seemed so defeated
Little did I know what we just couldn’t see yet
That strength I saw at the hospital
Your body hurt but still so powerful
You looked at me with love in your heart
You smiled at me and you said that we are
So strong
So united
We love peace
Cos we know what life is
We didn’t choose it but
We will fight this
War and win it
Cos we know what the time is
So strong
So united
We love peace
Cos we know what life is
To the end
We will fight this
War and win it
Cos we know what the time is
Maybe all the pain we went through back in Egypt
And all of the hope that we learn when we leave it
Gives us a strength that I’ve never seen in anyone
Somehow the agony we feel doesn’t bury us
If anything it gives us a mysterious
Deep inner power to transform the hideous
Pain of the atrocity became our generosity
Like long lost lovers now recovering our constancy
Hundreds of thousands flew home unstoppably
Didn’t even wait to be called, the velocity
Was shocking me, these heroes had no heed for authority
A profound groundswell, now masses responsibly
Mass mobilized to provide what was necessary
To comfort our mourners and to stop our enemies
Food, equipment, love, weaponry
Millions of boxes sent voluntarily
Evacuees kept streaming steadily
While thousands of us demonstrated our pedigree
Giving, fighting, packing, driving
Supporting each other through tears we were crying
Regardless of politics or religiosity
Our people has risen to this moment historically
May we never need reminding the truth so horribly
Our strength is our unity so make that the policy
So strong
So united
We love peace
Cos we know what life is
We didn’t choose it but
We will fight this
War and win it
Cos we know what the time is
So strong
So united
We love peace
Cos we know what life is
To the end
We will fight this
War and win it
Cos we know what the time is
So strong
So united
We love peace
Cos we know what life is
We didn’t choose it but
We will fight this
War and win it
Cos we know what the time is
So strong
So united
We love peace
Cos we know what life is
To the end
We will fight this
War and win it
Cos we know what the time is
